**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** Exploiting this vulnerability could allow the disclosure of certain memory address within kernel space. Knowing the exact location of kernel memory could be potentially leveraged by an attacker for other malicious activities.

**What type of information could be disclosed by this vulnerability?** Exploiting this vulnerability could allow the disclosure of certain memory address within kernel space. Knowing the exact location of kernel memory could be potentially leveraged by an attacker for other malicious activities.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into sending a request to a malicious server. This could result in the server returning malicious data that might cause arbitrary code execution on the user's system.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

**According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation of this vulnerability has a high impact on availability (A:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability??** An attacker can send specially crafted packets which could impact availability of the service resulting in Denial of Service (DoS).

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

**According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is network (AV:N). How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** As an authenticated user, the attacker could send a specially crafted string of data over the network, causing the application to crash.

**According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation of this vulnerability has a high impact on availability (A:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability??** An attacker can send specially crafted packets which could impact availability of the service resulting in Denial of Service (DoS).

**According to the CVSS metric, the Attack Vector is Physical (AV:P). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker needs physical access to the target computer to plug in a malicious USB drive.
